Being a birthmother I have to say yes, we think of our child quite often. However, I was confident that I had done the right thing by giving her up to a family that would raise her as I couldn't at the time. Since then, I have found that this is not always the case. I located her a few months ago and things did not go well. I found that her adoptive parents were not open with her about being adopted,plus alot of other things, which has left her with a lot of anger and bitterness. Unfortunately, that anger was aimed at me.
As hard as I tried, it just did not go well.
I can say that I believe every birth mother expects (and probably hopes) to hear from that one child they didn't get to raise. I would suggest doing it very gradually, like maybe have a therapist or counselor call her first to see how she feels about having you in her life. Good luck!
